So many books, so little time
50,000 books will be on sale through Sunday
Law. Military. Comedy. Sci-fi. Sports. Travel.
And that's only the beginning.
More than 50,000 books spanning 37 genres will be on sale at this week's 14th annual Wichita Adult Literacy Council Book Fair.
The event is held at the Sikes Lake Center, located behind the Midwestern State University Wellness Center.
It starts with a "sneak peek" opening from 5-8 p.m. today where, for a $5 entry fee, patrons can be the first ones to get fresh pickings from the new selection.
The event also runs, without an entry fee, Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m.-6 p.m. and Sunday from 1-5 p.m.
Outside of a section of "specialty books" (books that are worth considerably more than the rest), each day all books will be $1 for hardbacks and 50 cents for paperbacks, and Sunday all books are half off.
Half the proceeds go to the Wichita Adult Literacy Council, an organization that offers free tutoring to adults in reading and writing as well as helps them in job training and skills building.
The other half benefits Newspapers In Education, which provides newspapers to local schools for students to read.
The book fair is one of two major fundraisers for WALC, including the organization's spelling bee held ever year in the fall. Sara Shelton, the council's director, said the events raised about $15,000 each last year.
She said she had about 40 volunteers all year long helping stack, sort and organize books that were dropped off at the Galaxy Center, their office building donation center located behind Berend Bros. on Old Jacksboro Highway.
Tuesday morning, about 25 Wichita Christian students helped unload 34 large pallets of books off an 18-wheeler trailer, donated by Coca-Cola for the day.
She has about 50 people volunteering during the fair, including students from MSU's soccer and football teams, who she said usually help put the unsold books at the event's closing back into storage to be resold next year.
She said it is usually "the biggest book fair in 200 miles," attracting four to five thousand customers coming from Amarillo, Lubbock, Dallas, Plano and Oklahoma City to check out the selection.
And when the doors close on Sunday, she said the following week new donations will start coming in for next year's event.
"I guarantee there will be people donating loads of books," she said. "It's wonderful that the community gets involved and helps out our organization. It's great."
While organizing books at the Sikes Lake Center Tuesday, book fair volunteer and WALC tutor Jose Cruz said he sees firsthand where the benefits go.
"There are so many reasons why an adult might not be able to read," Cruz said. "But for whatever reason, we need to help them improve at it. And this event raises the money to help enable us to do that. It really helps so much."
He said he is currently tutoring a man who wants to increase his reading level so he can pass a test to get his plumbing license.
But without funds from events like this, Cruz said it would be harder for the organization to operate, effectively narrowing the scope of the number of people, like his student, that they can help.
"It's empowering to have the knowledge (of literacy)," Cruz said. "A lot of people take it for granted, but not everyone has it."

Illuminate any work area with this portable work light. The 45 LEDs use very little energy and generate almost no heat. The tripod adjusts from 3 - 6 feet with a simple twist. It's rated IP44 water resistant for additional safety.
Hey these lights use very little power and can be powered by even a battery system/inverter for quite a while. But I just find that they are not quite as bright as I need for lighting a shop working on a motorcycle with only a few ceiling bulbs as well. However at this price point and power usage I would still recommend them. I am considering them in other applications as well since a small solar panel and battery system with a decent inverter will easily power these for remote buildings/sheds/garages. I would however like to see power switches so I don't have to pull the plug each time I turn them on/off.

Date installation was completed: 11-25-07
1. Synopsis describing the project goals, special features, or nuances.
The goal of this theater was simple, during a large scale whole-house renovation our client wanted to create a warm, inviting, high performance theater space for his family to spend quality time together. The primary role of this space is for the four daughters that "run the house" to enjoy watching movies with their friends and siblings on a nightly basis. The space had to be multi-functional and have an open concept to a bar/kitchen area, card table, and a 175 gallon salt water aquarium. The client fell in love with our design concept, and after approval of initial renderings and sample materials, we were given the freedom to complete the project on time and on budget with no further input from the homeowner. more

The Composers
Folk Traditional
The desire to establish un-equivocally the identity of the composer of a piece of music has only become an issue in the last couple of hundred years. This means that for much music written before the 19th century, we cannot categorically say who wrote it or, indeed, whether any one person is responsible for the piece as we now know it. In the former category, we might label the composer as 'anonymous'; in the latter we might well refer to the music as 'traditional'. In effect this is to say that a piece of music, or more likely a melody, has been passed down from generation to generation in the manner of a tradition.
Often melodies or pieces of music can undergo changes as they travel through history with each succeeding generation choosing to adapt the tradition to fit more appropriately with the current social situation. With folk music, this is often an oral process that doesn't write down the music but retains it in the collective memory of a community. In this case, we have no way of reconstructing what the melody used to sound like. Often, though, the same melody will be remembered by two different communities, and remembered differently as time goes on. Eventually the two versions of the melody, having passed through many generations of variants, may eventually sound substantially different, though we can say that they derive from the same source. In the 20th century, composers like Vaughan Williams and Bartók wrote some of these down, anxious to preserve the repertoire before the folk tradition died out.
'Traditional' could also be applied to music that was composed by an un-identifiable individual. Where as 'anonymous' might be a more accurate way to describe its composer, the piece may well have entered our cultural language to the extent that its performance constitutes a tradition to be passed to succeeding generations. Certain Christmas carols perhaps fall under this bracket. Essentially, though, the word is a way of making music from a time when the individual was less important than the act of music-making itself, fit in with our composer-dominated view of music.

Try to board as much as I can but since I'm in college and short on cash i don't get out as much as i want.
These mittens are awesome! Extremely comfortable, extremely warm. I almost never use the fleece liner gloves cuz the shell by itself is so warm. Their are two different ways to tighten these up to keep snow out. An elastic pull at the bottom of the glove that can be pulled one way to tighten up and one way to loosen (so you can do either without having to use both hands) and one higher up towards the base of your thumb (the wide strap across the back of the glove seen in the picture above). Using them together makes it easy to keep my coat sleave over my glove to form a total seal. I've been snowboarding in negative fourteen (it was pretty miserable) but my hands were nice and warm with the liners in.

Kind of an offshoot from the "Since this is a football section..." thread. So who do you think are going to the Super Bowl this year??
I'm thinking Chargers vs. Bears. Ok, I might be a little biased since I'm a Chargers fan, but dude, they seriously kick ass this year. However, we still can't forget Ravens and Colts.Picked Chicago only because they seem to have the best records so far.
Now, Chargers vs. New Orleans. That would be interesting.
Ok, discuss away.

When's the Best Time to Start a Family?
By Jill Johnson
In the last few years, the zeitgeist has shifted from "look at all those successful women having their first babies in their forties" to "all those high-achievers who have waited to have a baby are in big trouble." In her controversial 2002 book, Creating a Life: Professional Women and the Quest for Children, Sylvia Ann Hewlett showed ambitious 40- or 50-something women who'd pursued the dream of "having it all" as facing the devastation of a nest that would never be filled. Some questioned Hewlett's dark scenario, but her book touched off a "Baby Panic," as a New York magazine cover described it, and a blitz of media debate (Time, Newsweek, The Oprah Winfrey Show, 60 Minutes) over the right timetable for childbearing.
Proponents of raising awareness encourage ob-gyns to bring up the subject of fertility with women before their window of opportunity slides shut. While some doctors won't "invade their patients' privacy" on this issue, offering advice only if asked, others, like Manhattan ob-gyn Dr. Lynn Friedman, do open the discussion, because of trends she sees in her practice. At least half of Friedman's over-40 patients wishing to conceive end up seeing a fertility specialist, and she has found that those over 42 are usually not successful using their own eggs—a reality that catches many off guard.
"They'll point out the one person they know who is in her forties and pregnant, and they'll hang their hats on that one person," says Friedman. "They'll hear that a celebrity is having twins at age 52 and they don't think about the possibility that she's used donor eggs. Of course women have a right to their privacy, and generally they won't publicize it if they use donor eggs, but it ends up being misleading to other women. I had a 45-year-old come in saying she wanted to try to get pregnant and when I explained to her that she should see a fertility specialist and look into donor eggs because she had a very small chance of getting pregnant, she was livid. She got up and stormed out. She did end up needing donor eggs. I don't know if she was successful or not."

Great rates, nice hotel, very hospitable staff!
The bottom hinge on the bedroom door was broken and there were eerie stains on the sofa.
Pros: everyone in this hotel was super friendly. The staff was quick to help us with anything we needed. There breakfast ladies were awesome. They provided over the top customer service and entertainment. The room was clean and the housekeepers kept it that way. The hotel concierge set up for us to travel different places down town also gave good advice on eateries and activities. I can't compliment the staff in total enough. The valet guys helped take our luggage in upon arrival and out upon departure. One guy helped us carry shopping bags to our room and another One of them even walked us to the Marta because we were traveling so early in the morning. All of this was done without even having to ask
The location is good but bad. You are located across the street from Marta and the underground but there are an abundance of beggars. The population of loitering people is outrageous. Also because of this part of down town almost everything closes at 8. This includes place within walking distance to eat, shop, and convenience stores.
The location and the cleanness of the hotel. The hotel staff was very helpful especially Jasmine and Edith at the front desk
I liked how comfortable the rooms were. I liked the free breakfast that came with the rooms.
I did not like the parking situation. Third party valet is a terrible idea and it was very expensive. They need to consider changing that service.
Complimentary Shuttle,Contemporary look suites,comfy beds, and of course the clerk Dominique...he is so so nice and professional!
Nothing to like, this is a terrible hotel
1. Terrible location and you can't have a walk with wife at the nighttime at that area, so many guy ask you money at that area. 2. The front desk staff inform us the breakfast time is before 9:30 and never said it's 9 at the weekday, so we miss the breakfast. 3. Terrible heater in the room and sound like a old car engine, it wake us up on every 20 mins at night whe it run. 4. The hair dryer have smoke to come out when using and when we call the front desk to exchange, it take an hour. 5. The water on the bathing poor never able to gone and this mean it keep your leg with the dirty water during you showering. 6. Won't stay this hotel anymore for sure.
Staff was very friendly and a pleasure to deal with.
The hotel is old and worn. Toilet was running before I checked in and never fixed. Showers were at best warm. Clock in room never worked. Heat in room was not adequate. Tiles were missing in bathroom. Rate was for a 5 star and hotel is closer to 2 stars.
Had a group of rooms reserved and gave away 2 of our 5 reserved rooms.
Great employees, excellent location, very clean, I think the company could use a remodeling.
Company could put money back into the company , links better kitchen and remodeling areas
Renovated historic building. Convenient location near federal government office buildings, directly across from the MARTA, corner room was large with several windows, hotel shuttle, friendly and helpful staff.
No significant issues. Parking was expensive ($30). The three rooms booked varied in size and configuration. One of the rooms was rather small for two coworkers to share. The lobby was small and somewhat cramped.
Good location. Very friendly and helpful staff. Spacious suite. Nice view.
Shower was poorly regulated and would go from too cold to scalding hot without warning. I reported this to staff, so hopefully it will be fixed for the next guest. But it appeared that the bathtub/shower set-up is aging and should probably be renovated. Otherwise the suite was quite nice.
A little far to the Restaurants. 4-5 blocks away
Was close to convention center Courtesy van good breakfast
Neighborhood! Would not go out alone at night. Atlanta has a problem with street people, beggars, etc. Rooms need cosmetic upgrade. Chipped paint worn, light bulbs missing.
Nice spacey rooms. Staff helpful and friendly.
Location was rough but a shuttle was made available so we did not have to worry about being outside the nice rooms made up for this.
Excellent value for money. I had a living room and a bedroom with a small kitchenette. The breakfast had a good spread and more that what you would expect for the price. A shuttle takes you around downtown as well.
The staff was awesome. Even the curtesy officer was super nice! Its right next to wafflehouse and shopping,secured entry.
No parking so you have to valet or walk a few blocks in the "hood". Breakfast was flavorless and lacking. Rooms dont heat and cool evenly.
Staff in breakfast area were excellent.
Location is bad. Did not feel safe walking as a single woman in this area. No good or decent restaurants in walking distance. Bad neighborhood.
Good breakfast, clean
I reserved a king size bed and got 2 fulls, I didn't have hot water one morning to shower, then I was asked to relocate to a higher floor because they started doing renovations on the floor I was staying on.
The convenience of location.
Disorganization of the valet parking on more than one day.
Every single staff member we encountered went above and beyond our expectations, not only to meet our needs but also to make our stay very pleasant. A special shout out to the breakfast ladies, with their warm greetings, songs and dances, and offers of help.
An excellent room - very comfortable although the view was a bit disappointing. Staff were friendly although the reception set-up is very off-putting and unwelcoming.
The breakfast was pretty awful. Nothing to commend it.

SCO Says IBM is Beating Up on Them
michael posted more than 11 years ago | from the cry-me-a-river dept.
1133SCO's McBride claims that IBM is stage-managing all the attacks and bad press, which would probably explain why I cleared this article with IBM World Headquarters before running it (not!). The publisher of Linux Journal invites SCO to sue. One of SCO's lawyers has this barely coherent interview where he spouts legal rubbish for a gullible reporter. There's an interview in German (machine translation) with SCO's execs. And finally, SCO is still hoping for a settlement with IBM. Update: 08/22 18:26 GMT by M : ESR responds.

02.06.06 - LEE SAMUELS, TOP RANK INCORPORATED: Thank you, Crystal. This is one of the most exciting times for Top Rank in a long, long time. Miguel Cotto, Madison Square Garden on the eve of the Puerto Rican Parade in New York City against a tough-talking, (inaudible); we cant wait. Miguel will be in town, in New York City, on Friday night and my boss and the Hall of Fame promoter, Bob Arum, will outline the fight card; hell talk about Miguel and Bob, take it away. BOB ARUM, TOP RANK INCORPORATED: Thank you Lee, and welcome everybody to the call. Were really pleased to have Miguel Cotto here on the call and I want to tell everybody about our card on June 10th before I introduce Miguel. On June 10th were going to bring the fun back into boxing. The card in Madison Square Garden is going to be, I think, very, very exciting but more important theres going to be music between fights, between rounds. The crowd is going to be packing Madison Square Garden; its going to be excited. Just you watch. People will be writing that this was the most fun evening with boxing and this is what boxing needs to bring back the hoards of fans to watch boxing live in an arena. Were going to start the card, the television portion of the card is 9 oclock. The card starts at 7:00 with a lot of preliminary fights but at 9 oclock we have a Mexican Puerto Rican rivalry, a six round fight with two undefeated fighters, one Manuel Lopez of Puerto Rico against Sergio Mendez (ph) of Mexico City. Each guy undefeated. Then we go to a fight with some veterans. Bobby Pacquiao, the younger brother of Manny Pacquiao, will defend WBC Continental Americas title against Kevin Kelley, a former champion and very, very popular in New York. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. will then fight a six-round fight against ten-in-one Aaron Drake, a hard punching guy with eight knock-outs of his ten fights, from Kansas City. And thatll be followed by the favorite, a favorite fighter of New York, guys been selling thousands of tickets, Irish John Duddy, 16 and 0 with 14 knock-outs from Derry, Ireland, and hell be fighting Freddy Cuevas of Chicago, 25 wins, 8 defeats, 17 knock-outs. And then pro - right prior to the main event a preview of the National Football Collegiate Championship, Robert Bell of Akron, Ohio 2 and 2, will fight against the captain of the Notre Dame Football team making his pro debut, Tommy Zbikowski. And finally, we get to the main event, a fight between two undefeated fighters, Paulie Malignaggi, 21 victories, no defeats, a superb boxer, against Miguel Cotto, the pride of Puerto Rico, 26 wins, no defeats, 22 knock-outs. Thats going to be an old, a real barn burner, a real great fight and thatll conclude the evening. We have a lot of surprises in store for the fans with music, entertainment, while this card is going on its going to be a great, great night but the guy that made it all possible is the pride of Puerto Rico who will be fighting at Madison Square Garden on the eve of the Puerto Rican Day Parade, Miguel Cotto, the WBO Junior Welterweight champion. So, its a pleasure for me to introduce now to you the pride of Puerto Rico from Caguas, Puerto Rico, Miguel Cotto. MIGUEL COTTO: Ive been working real hard. I know how important this fight is. I know that its going to be a great fight. You know, its pretty close now to the fight. (inaudible) putting the final touches on my training here but I think itll be a great night for Puerto Rico, for all the Puerto Rican fans on June 10th. LEE SAMUELS: And I want to add that this Pay per View is available on In Demand Direct TV and the Dish Network. Those carriers will be having this Pay per View on June 10th. Crystal, lets start with the calls. DEAGO MARTINEZ, REFORMA NEWSPAPER: (Spanish spoken) MIGUEL COTTO: (Spanish spoken) RICARDO JIMENEZ: The question was, I know youre getting ready for June 10th but theres been a lot of talk that youre going to face the winner of Corrales and Castillo probably at end of November. What do you think about the fighters? How do you see the fight? MIGUEL COTTO: I think right now all Im doing is concentrating on my fight, June 10th. I think both Corrales and Castillo are great fighters. Theyve shown what they can do and it would be a great to talk about them but once Im done with June 10th, once I get the win on June 10th we can talk about anyone who would be next. TRAE THOMPSON, FORT WORTH STAR TELEGRAM: Yes. I was wondering if you can ask Miguel what it means for him to be at the site, a venue like Madison Square Garden. RICARDO JIMENEZ: (Spanish spoken) MIGEL COTTO: (Spanish spoken) Yes. Its always a pleasure, you know, to fight in a legendary arena like that and I know how important it is. Only the great ones fight there and I think I work just as hard as anybody, just like those great ones did to put on a great show and I think thats what will give of them on June 10th. TRAE THOMPSON: All right. And this question is for Bob. Bob, you said earlier you were going to bring the fun back to boxing. Where did it go? BOB ARUM: Well, Trae, what happened is it - Ive been searching for the answer and I think Ive found it and if I go back 40 years in boxing. TRAE THOMPSON: Right. BOB ARUM: And whats happened is that the television people have taken over the events, and thats not just HBO, its Showtime, its ESPN, its anybody who televises boxing. These producers and directors direct the event, control the crowd noise, control the music, its the only sport where that happens. Do you imagine a television producer or director telling the head of the Notre Dame athletic department, Father, dont have the band play the Notre Dame fight song so often because it interferes with our announcers talking in the booth? Theyd be thrown over the Golden Dome. I mean, but in boxing weve become so dependent on television that we allow the event to be turned into, in effect, a television studio and thats whats killing attendance at fights, because weve forgotten that the public wants to be entertained. They dont want to sit around between fights on their hands. They want music, they want fun. Between rounds they want music, they want - the music and activity will stimulate, I think, interest in people coming to the fight. I remember an incident not so long ago where I asked Michael Buffe, Mike, Michael, how come you didnt interview, you didnt announce Jack Nicholson and some other stars? And he says, well, the director told me that I wasnt allowed to talk anymore because they wanted to throw it to their announcements. Well, thats OK; theyre, if theyre paying money theyre entitled to do that, etc., etc. But I think its hurting, its hurting the attendance at fights. TRAE THOMPSON: Did that occur over time or did you see it change here just recently? BOB ARUM: It occurred over time. TRAE THOMPSON: OK. Thank you, Bob. BOB ARUM: It never - promoters never would have allowed this in the past, including myself. But we all, you know, its short (inaudible). And over time thats what happened, theyve taken over the event. ROBERT MORALES, LOS ANGELES DAILY NEWS: Hey, Miguel, (Spanish). Ricardo, could you ask Miguel what he thinks about a guy like Malignaggi, I think is how you pronounce his name, Im not sure, but what did you think about a guy like that who really is probably only known in one area compared to Cotto who is world renowned? What does he think about Paul Malignaggi talking all this trash that hes been talking? I mean, basically, I always kind of thought, you know, rookies should kind of keep their mouths shut. RICARDO JIMENEZ: (Spanish spoken) MIGUEL COTTO: (Spanish spoken) You know thats what Ive been trying to tell people that, you know, this guy is, has done nothing, hes really nothing yet. Hes obviously taking the, this opportunity that were giving him to try to sell himself but once the fight is over hell go right back where he comes from where hell be fighting back in the clubs in New York. EDDIE GOLDMAN, SECONDS OUT RADIO: Hi, Miguel. I want to ask you a little different question about Paulie Malignaggi. We know Paulie has been undefeated but does not have a lot of knock-outs. How are you going to approach him in this fight? And also, do you think that, what level of contender and challenger do you think he presents to you? RICARDO JIMENEZ: (Spanish spoken) MIGUEL COTTO: (Spanish spoken) You know I really dont know much about him, style-wise or anything. All I know is hes been talking a lot and I think when you do that is because you dont know whether you can back it. I dont know if he can back it up or not but I dont think he can. EDDIE GOLDMAN: Has he watched many tapes or seen him fight live? Because Paulies known for his speed. I mean you can look at his record; he doesnt have a lot of knock-outs. Hes had some hand injuries but if you look at any of his fights you see that probably his speed and his overall boxing ability are his best attributes. RICARDO JIMENEZ: (Spanish spoken) MIGUEL COTTO: (Spanish spoken) You know, I never look at videos. I dont really know anything about his style, the way he fights. My uncle is the one that looks at those videos. Hes the one thats given me the, you know, the plan, the plan were going to install, the plan were going to work. Were just going to meet up in the ring and thats when Im going to find out what hes all about. But the guy whos better trained, the guy that did all his work and the guy thats more focused on that night is going to win that fight. EDDIE GOLDMAN: And last thing, as everybody knows, the same evening theres another card going on on Pay per View also in Atlantic City. Id just like Miguel to say in his own words why he thinks people should be at Madison Square Garden or watching this show on Pay per View if they cant get to the Garden. RICARDO JIMENEZ: (Spanish spoken) MIGUEL COTTO: (Spanish spoken) You know, I think the world of both of them. I think Tarver and Hopkins are great. You know, although famous probably on the way to the Hall of Fame but as we see with the last two Hopkins fights against Jermain Taylor hes just about done in my personal opinion. If you really want to see a great fight, you know which fight you want to see. TRAE THOMPSON: This is just a follow-up for Miguel. His fights have gotten tougher, obviously, but I just wanted to ask him, does he enjoy those challenges that those tougher opponents bring with them? RICARDO JIMENEZ: (Spanish spoken) MIGUEL COTTO: (Spanish spoken) You know, as myself I always get ready to fight. Its not my job to pick the opponent. I have a great company in Top Rank and a great matchmaker in Bruce Trampler whos always putting up the guys out there that they think I need to be facing and I love that. I love the way they bring guys in to me, the guys that they know theyre going to ask more of me and its a great challenge and if youre a professional boxer and you want to get to the levels that you want to get to, you know you have to face this type of fighters. TRAE THOMPSON: Bob, this is for you. What ways, you know, as his courage progressed, what ways have you seen him mature as his fights become more difficult? BOB ARUM: Well Miguel is a hard, hard worker and hes faced very many guys with different styles, and Malignaggi is probably the quickest guy that hes faced and he needs to deal with that speed before we can say that hes complete. I believe that he will and once he does then hes ready for anybody out there, whether its Jose Luis Castillo or Diego Corrales or Ricky Hatton or Arturo Gatti, anybody. So I think that this is a really important test for Miguel. If he passes this test, then I dont think Bruce will hesitate recommending anybody as an opponent and I think youll see a string of very, very big fights that Miguel will be fighting. ROBERTO COLON, PRIMERA HORA: (Spanish spoken) MIGUEL COTTO: (Spanish spoken) RICARDO JIMENEZ: The question was that if you usually have opponents that dont really been talking about you or saying things about you like this guy has, every week theres always something different, talking about you, saying things hes going to do to you. How do you feel about, is that motivation for you? MIGUEL COTTO: You know, is, it is the first time someone has been, had the guts to be saying stuff about me and what theyre going to do to me in the ring. I just hope he has the guts to do that in the ring, to stand up and fight. If he doesnt, Im ready to go at him for 12 rounds and, believe me, Ill find him. Hes not going to have the stamina to run away from me for 12 months, for 12 rounds. ROBERT MORALES: I have one question for you, Bob, and one for Miguel but Ill ask Miguels first. Miguel, you know one of the things, you know, talking in boxing circles, some guys say, you know, one of these days because Miguel Cotto gets hit a lot, hes going to get knocked out. Does he recognize that he needs to shore up his defense? RICARDO JIMENEZ: (Spanish spoken) MIGUEL COTTO: (Spanish spoken) I think, you know, in boxing I can do like a baseball player. A baseball players going to hit, you know, going to hit. Throughout his career hes always going to hit with the ball and youve got to go to, you know, take your base. I think in boxing guys are going to take punches; people are going to get hit. To me the question is what do you do when you get hit and how you respond. And I think Ive shown how I can respond when Im in trouble. ROBERT MORALES: OK. And Bob, let me ask you real quick and on the Jim Rome radio show the other day our friend, Oscar De La Hoya was being interviewed and he just said, kind of threw something out there and said, one of the things thats wrong with boxing is promoters undermining each other and Rome asked him what he was talking about and he talked about these two Pay Per Views on the same day, on June 10th and basically put all the blame for that happening, in his mind, on you. What do you think about that? BOB ARUM: Well, everybody who knows anything knows that we had this date for one year. Right after the last fight of Miguel in Madison Square Garden, we reserved the Garden for June 10th of this year. Everybody at HBO knew it; everybody in boxing knew it and they put their Pay per View show on in spite of the fact that we had reserved the date and were going on that date. So if theres any blame here, the blame is on them. I mean I am not happy with two Pay per View shows the same night but, as I said, I cant shift the Puerto Rican Day Parade. I mean, the June 10th date is not magical; it was not magical for them. The June 10th date was magical and essential for us because its the night before the Puerto Rican Day Parade. Its as simple as that, Robert. I mean fair is fair. ROBERT MORALES: And then, of course, theres, if Im not mistaken, correct me if Im wrong, when you reserved that date a year in advance, it was with the Puerto Rican Day Parade in mind wasnt it? BOB ARUM: Oh, only, of course, of course. Thats why we reserved the date, thats why the date was important. June 10th was important because the Puerto Rican Day Parade, we knew last year, was going to be held on June 11th this year. KARL FREITAG, FIGHTNEWS.COM: Recently the latest comments from Malignaggi, he says hes going to break you down and hes even talking about knocking you out. Based on his previous fights, does that even make any sense? MIGUEL COTTO: (Spanish spoken) I think here he doesnt have the power or nor the courage to really go try to knock me out. I think it is one of the many lies hes been saying. KARL FREITAG: What do you think is his motivation for making these kind of statements? RICARDO JIMENEZ: (Spanish spoken) MIGUEL COTTO: (Spanish spoken) You know, I do have to commend him for selling himself as a viable opponent for me. Hes been saying a lot of stuff; hes been making up all this stuff that hes going to do to me. I think a lot of people are expecting, they want to see if he can really do that to me and I think thats good for the fight. I think a lot of people are going to turn on the fight and by the fight gets to see if he has really any possibilities of doing anything like that to me. And I, you know, and I think thats good for the fight. KARL FREITAG: Do you think the crowds going to be rooting for him or rooting for you? RICARDO JIMENEZ: (Spanish spoken) MIGUEL COTTO: (Spanish spoken) All I can tell you is, its the weekend of the Puerto Rican Parade. KARL FREITAG: OK. And Bob are you going to be reserving this the day before the parade again for next year? BOB ARUM: Absolutely. We want to make this an annual thing. Its great for boxing; its great for the Puerto Ricans. They come to New York, a lot of, we have plenty of Puerto Ricans in New York but weve got a lot of people from the island come to New York to celebrate this fantastic parade and the fight the night before is part of the weekend celebration. So its great for boxing and its great for the Puerto Rican fans. KARL FREITAG: So as of now you are serving notice to all of the promoters to stay away from this date next year? BOB ARUM: Well, you know, but certain people feel that theyre being undermined if they cant push other people around so Im not optimistic that the same thing wont happen again. THOMAS GERBASI: Hey, guys, a couple of questions for Bob. Bob, Miguel is not a kid who talks a lot, hes not flashy, he just goes in and does his business. How would you explain his appeal to boxing fans? BOB ARUM: Because hes a real fighter, hes a real man. Its the same type of appeal that Felix Trinidad had. I mean Felix wasnt the most loquacious guy but Felix had the job done in the ring. He was a real warrior and so the fans flocked to him; same thing with Miguel. THOMAS GERBASI: Now, a big appeal of this match-up is that the Puerto Rican kid against an Italian kid, you also got Duddy on the card for the Irish fans, Cuevas for the Mexican fan. How come more people, more promoters arent putting on shows like this which were, back in the 30s and 40s, you would always see these ethnic matches? How come more promoters arent doing it? BOB ARUM: Because this is different. This is a show thats being promoted and being staged as a promotion. It is not, as we have seen more and more promoters fronting for networks, where the network is only interested in what is on the tube and what one fight or two fight they happen to be showing. THOMAS GERBASI: Right. BOB ARUM: So when youre out there promoting, as you have to, an event like this, then you have to, in addition to drawing from the Puerto Ricans and the Italians, I want to draw from everybody in New York. The Irish; I mean John Duddy and his people have sold over 3,000 tickets. The Notre Dame football fans are going to come see Tommy Z fight in his pro debut. The Philippinos, there are a lot of Philippinos in New York, for Pacquiao. There are a lot of African-Americans who followed Kevin Kelly. Were drawing from every strata of New York City. Its the rainbow thats made New York New York and the United States great and thats why were going to pack the Garden. EDDIE GOLDMAN: I have a question for Bob, kind of following up this last one. And I was, I remember that this was announced right after Miguels fight last year right after, on the Puerto Rican Day Parade weekend that you were going to be running again this, in the Garden and there was at the press conference and everybody was there when the boxing media and all the different people were there. Why dont you think HBO took this fight and then scheduled, you know the other one could have been scheduled at another time since youre sort of fixed for this day? Why didnt they take this, put this fight on their network? BOB ARUM: Well, I think that question should be addressed to the executives at HBO rather than myself. I mean, with coming from me it would be just speculation, it might be unfair. Why dont you ask them that? Pick up the phone and ask them that question? EDDIE GOLDMAN: Did you approach them to get this on HBO? I mean, was it turned down, or? BOB ARUM: No, no, no. We wanted to do this either on HBO or on HBO Pay per View. We wanted to do it any which way on this date. And before we knew it, they had scheduled the Hopkins Tarver fight on the same date. Why they did that, what their justification is, youd have to ask them. EDDIE GOLDMAN: All right. Im sure well run into them and well do that. Thanks. JOHN ELIGON, NEW YORK TIMES: Hi, Bob. Just kind of following up on something you talked about earlier. I think, can you say what does it mean to the sport of boxing or what could it mean to the sport of boxing if you do kind of do an ethnic based kind of target audience thing? How much could that help the sport and what could it mean to the sport do you think? BOB ARUM: I think its a start. I think, look how successful boxing was in the past when we had all these great matches with Irish and Jews and Italians and then African-Americans. I mean thats always what propelled boxing because fans then had a rooting interest in the contestant and thats what Im trying to bring back here. Now you go to Puerto Rico and Miguel Cotto is a star there. He is a tremendous, selling out arenas any time he fights there. Now, we have to, so that he has that kind of following. John Duddy sold out the theatre at Madison Square Garden on the eve of St. Patricks Day so he, we know, has a tremendous following, essentially among Irish fans. Paulie has a great following with Italian fans. But we want to bring the people back to boxing in any which way we can and we want to entertain them and we want to hold them there and bring them back time and time again. I mean promoters will tell you that theyre having a tremendously hard time selling tickets to live boxing events. Thank God this event at Madison Square Garden were already past the $1 million mark and one of the reasons is because of the kind of fighters led by Miguel Cotto and Paulie that we have on this card. JOHN ELIGON: Hey, Bob, you alluded to that (inaudible) is always the final boxing city. You think maybe the so-called popularity the (inaudible) boxing fan has been in, mainly its because the promoters have gone away from this type of promotion and then, if so, why has it gone, have promoters gone away from this do you think? BOB ARUM: Because promoters are not promoters any more. Promoters are fronts for television networks. They put on certain fights that the suits of the television networks want, and thats it and they dont bother with anything else and I think that thats hurt, ended up hurting the sport. And I think if we can bring back the fun to boxing, bring back the competition, bring back the ethnic loyalties, I think its going to go a long way to rejuvenate the sport. Just wait till you see what were going to do in Madison Square Garden on June 10th. You wont recognize it and its not unique and its not rocket scientry but you wont recognize it from the usual boxing events that youve been going to. TRAE THOMPSON: I was going to ask Miguel, has he always been such a tough fighter? I mean, as a young amateur was he as tough as he is now? And was that something that developed over time? RICARDO JIMENEZ: (Spanish spoken) MIGUEL COTTO: (Spanish spoken) I think, you know, as an amateur youre, you just want to get points. I think your boxing is a little different, youre trying to do other things but in, as my career has developed Ive, its just come along as a professional level, I recognized that people enjoy when people get hurt in the ring, when they feel the knock-out coming, when the see the great punches, I think all of that has been a development that is, as I mature Ive been able to gather and to be able to do it. I mean everyone gets hit, I get hit, people get crazy and then whatever you do the next is whats the important thing. You know you get over it, you get, you win and you win your fights and I think that my career has gone that way and Im getting tougher and better as those fights come along. TRAE THOMPSON: So the professional style which just helped him unleash that toughness, I guess? MIGUEL COTTO: Yes. ROBERTO COLON: (Spanish spoken) MIGUEL COTTO: (Spanish spoken) RICARDO JIMENEZ: The question was, do you think, are you concerned at all about his speed and what he is, of what hes going to bring to the ring? MIGUEL COTTO: I think you really, if you think about it like Randy Johnson or Pedro Martinez, you know the speed is there in the beginning of the game, its not always there at the end and any pitcher will tell you that speed doesnt last the whole night through. ROBERTO COLON: (Spanish spoken) MIGUEL COTTO: (Spanish spoken) RICARDO JIMENEZ: Are you concerned at all that this, hes not, nobody knows really about him, nobody knows him, is that a concern to you? Like he might be something youre not prepared for? MIGUEL COTTO: Im not even worried about that. You know, I, hes been trying to sell himself; hes been talking a lot of trash. You know, hes, well find out in the ring. JOHN ELIGON: Hi. This questions for Miguel. Miguel, obviously the faster you want to obtain success in championships and popularity and whatnot, but how important is it to you that you do have the following of people from your home country, of Puerto Rico behind you? How important is it that those people are, especially (inaudible) among your people and where youre from? RICARDO JIMENEZ: (Spanish spoken) MIGUEL COTTO: (Spanish spoken) You know, Ive been very fortunate to have the big following that I have in Puerto Rico and very fortunate to have it everywhere I fought in the United States. People have been very nice to me, they respect me a lot, a lot of people know me and I try to give them the same respect. When you start this career you dont think in those terms, of people following you or being even famous but as you go along you recognize that all these people are behind you and thats a great motivation for you to keep doing well. JOHN ELIGON: And I, just one more (inaudible), do you, I mean, is it pleasurable to you that you do kind of (inaudible) in a way brings Puerto Ricans together and is a point, and you are a point of pride for Puerto Rico. Is it, is that something that you get pleasure out of? MIGUEL COTTO: (Spanish spoken) Yes, you know, its really, Im just human. You know, we all make mistakes, we all, sometimes maybe people dont see us like that but, you know, sometimes you make mistakes and you know you just keep going but the thing about it is the people. They have been really nice to me; theyve been showing me their support and it humbles you to be thought of so highly by so many people. KARL FREITAG: Hi, Miguel, just one last question. I mean Paulies probably going to be going into this fight looking to win a decision. Is, have you given any thought to the judges and/or the referee, just trying to get somebody that doesnt allow a lot of holding or trying to get somebody that the judges that prefer a puncher or as opposed to a stylist? Is that something that goes through your mind at all? MIGUEL COTTO: (Spanish spoken) Yes, Im not concerned at all. You know, as long as I do my job my uncle gives me the perfect plan. We know that its going, its going, were sending him wherever he came from. KARL FREITAG: And you think youre going to end it by a knock-out or a decision? MIGUEL COTTO: (Spanish spoken) You know, (Spanish spoken) You know, I really dont know. All I know is Im going to win; how, I dont know. All I know is that you can hit a home run any time and if Paulie slows down hes going to go to sleep quick. BOB ARUM: I want to thank you all for being on this call. I suggest as many of you as possible make arrangements to listen to Paulie Malagnaggi and Lou Dibella and I hope to see everybody in New York. We had a great fight this weekend in Las Vegas on Showtime, Castillo, Corrales and we got an unbelievable card in New York on June 10th and we hope to see you all of you in Madison Square Garden then. Thank you very much. PAULIE MALIGNAGGI and LOU DiBELLA May 31, 2006 Conference Call Transcript LOU DIBELLA, DIBELLA ENTERTAINMENT: It's going to be a big night at Madison Square Garden on June 10th and I think that Paulie's going to shock the boxing world when he becomes the new 140 lb champion. This is a fight that I'm very grateful to Top Rank and to Cotto for giving us the opportunity to participate, and it's a fight that Paulie's wanted his entire career. Since his third pro fight he's been saying, get me Miguel Cotto. My style matches up with him. I want to prove that I'm the best. And the reason we're so happy to get this fight is we do acknowledge how good a fighter and a good a champion Cotto is. And this is Paulie's opportunity to prove that not only does he belong, but he is the best out there and that's what he believes and I think that's what he's going to show on the 10th of June. So I'm just going to turn it over to Paulie Malignaggi. He'll say a couple of words, which he's never at a loss for, and then we'll open it up for questions. Paulie: PAUL MALIGNAGGI: Hey, I want to say what's up to everybody and I want to thank everybody for having me. And I'm going to reiterate what Lou said. I plan on shocking everybody. I plan on spoiling the show for a lot of the people that are expecting me to get stopped and a lot of people that think I'm going to be exposed as a fraud. I'm going to expose myself -- I'm going to expose -- the only thing that's going to be exposed is the fact I'm a world class fighter and everybody is going to realize that on June 10th. MICHAELS WOODS: The first question for Paulie. Just got off a session with Cotto in which he said that after this fight, well this fight he's going to knock you out. If you slow down he's going to knock you out, and after this fight he's going to send you back to where you were fighting before, which is the clubs of New York. I'd like your response. PAULIE MALIGNAGGI: New York is in for a rude awakening on June 10th. Tell him to keep talking. I'm going to break his face on Saturday night. MICHAELS WOODS: Good response. PAULIE MALIGNAGGI: He's playing with the wrong guy, believe me. MICHAELS WOODS: All right. And this one's to Lou. Bob Arum was a little bit feisty in his call and he actually said that he's going to be -- this promotion is going to be a little bit something different because he's going to bring back "the fun to boxing." And he says a lot of the blame for lagging attendance, live attendance at fights as been because of promoters not actually promoting but just sort of playing front man for TV networks. LOU DIBELLA: He said -- well, I don't know about front men for TV networks but there are certainly a lot of promoters that don't promote. And I'll take a little credit here because Paulie's had his share of up and downs, but the kid promotes himself and he has been promoted. And there are a lot of promoters out there that -- whose fighters don't get opportunities the way they should and whose events wind up having 40 or 50 people in the arena it looks like on television because they're in the business of just grabbing network money as opposed to working their assess off to garner attention. So I'm not willing to blame it on the network squarely like Bob is, but I will tell you that I do believe there are an awful lot of promoters in this day and age who don't promote. JOHN ELIGON, NEW YORK TIMES: Hi, this is for both Lou and Paulie. Bob Arum, when he was talking a little bit about, you know, kind of the ethnic targeting of this card. I just wondered, what were you guys' thoughts on the fact that this targeting obviously sort of an ethnic group and how that could benefit support and whatnot. LOU DIBELLA: Well, you have a Puerto Rican kid fighting in a city with the biggest Puerto Rican population outside of Puerto Rico against an Italian kid from the most Italian neighborhood in Brooklyn fighting in a city with a huge Italian-American population. You have the fastest growing ethnic group in New York, Mexican Americans, and you have Julio Cesar Chavez Junior fighting on this card. There are -- John Duddy fighting on this card whos an incredible draw to the Irish community, sold out the theater at the Garden himself. And you've got African American local kids who sell tickets like it's chocolate, and Curtis Stevens fighting on the card. I mean, it's just -- it's a well constructed card with an idea of appealing to the many ethnic groups that are in this melting pot that's New York City. And that's old fashioned promotion and I applaud Arum for that. Paulie, do you want to say anything? PAULIE MALIGNAGGI: Yes. Also there's Bobby Pacquiao for the Filipino community fighting Kevin Kelley who is a pretty well known.

Hello - I have some Echinocactus seeds from my 15 year old golden barrel cactus + melocactus seeds. I'm planning on planting them tomorrow, I soaked the echinocactus seeds in water until tomorrow. I read that I need to put them on soil using a syringe then cover with plastic bag so it's humid and leave in a bright place (no direct sun) and it should germinate in 4-6 weeks, is there anything else that I need to know? also, do I need to take out the melocactus seeds from the dried fruit before planting? Thanks. |

You do need to remove seed from fruit before sowing. Wash the seed thoroughly to remove any pulp clinging to it, allow to dry and then sow. |
I would also recommend sterilizing the soil. You can put it in the micro for a few minutes.. Just make sure the mix is moist. Mark |
Hi guys. Thanks for the help I planted the seeds on the 19th and I checked today they germinated!!! I'm so happy about them :D |
Congratulations, mommy!! Those are some lovely little new babies growing there. Nice job! |

Rumors for Microsoft Office on the iOS have been swirling for years. Almost every time they come up, Microsoft denies it. Here are just a few of those rumors:
- gadgetoz - Jan 2011
- gearburn - May 2012
- thedroidguy - July 2012
- MacDailyNews - Oct 2012
- powerpage - Oct 2012
Many insiders have told us that Microsoft has been working on porting Office to other platforms for some time. That does not translate into real software. Microsoft would have some significant challenges to overcome to successfully port Office. One of the big issues is the user interface. The Windows interface does not work on the iPad and certainly not on the iPhone. In addition, Microsoft is not known for their interface design. Adding all the other high end features like macros will also make porting Office difficult. So are we to believe the latest rumors about Office coming to the iOS in March or believe Microsoft who denies it?
The answer to the questions comes from Steve Ballmer himself. In an annual letter to shareholders, Steve wrote "The new approach mimics Apple Inc, whose massively successful iPhone and iPad demonstrated tight integration of high-quality software and hardware and made Windows devices feel clunky in comparison." Now we know Ballmer is not talking about mimicking Apple by creating innovative products or building a leading retail chain. So Ballmer must be talk about Steve Jobs famous statement about not adding video to the iPod "You can't watch a video and drive a car, We're focused on music." Later Apple did video to the iPod.
Microsoft will start denying new products up until launch while leaking product information through low level employees. Microsoft's Ballmer thinks that is the way to create successful products. This will fail like all other attempts Microsoft made to copy Apple. Microsoft does not have the corporate culture to keep products a secret. The end results is we get to watch Microsoft crash and burn yet again. Get your popcorn ready.

Service, care and commitment – the foundations of our success
A few comments about the level of service, care and commitment you can expect from us; as well as our success in defending the cases we contest.
It's a wonderful service you offer, I will definitely recommend you to any clients we have who need motoring advice. I found myself in a bad situation when I was caught in a driving offence. I didn't know who to turn to. I came across this firm. I spoke to Steve who made me feel at ease and very reassured. He gave me good, sound, honest advice and looked over every aspect of my problem. He guided me in the right direction to give me the best outcome possible in my situation. And I have to say I was very pleased. I am really thankful with all the help I received and would definitely recommend him to friends and family.
I Just wanted to say thank you very much for your hard work, I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer.
I sat and listened to 3 other cases of drink driving that were in court before me. They all had the duty solicitor. What amazed me was I got a shorter ban; even though my reading was higher than some of the others!
During my recent confrontation with the police and subsequently with the magistrates court, Mr Steve Williams couldn't have been more helpful and supportive of me throughout. The only means I had of contacting him initially was via e-mail messages but when I received my advanced information he supplied me with a fax number immediately so that I could let him read the charge and the witness statement. The advice he gave me was very professional, but above all he was so empathetic and kind during a very traumatic time. I would definitely recommend this company and especially Steve to anyone who has been charged with a motoring offence and is not sure about what to do. Unlike the Police and the magistrates, Steve actually listened to me and kept in daily contact with me, even when he was not at work. Exceptional!!
One very satisfied customer.
I wanted to thank you for taking the time to advise me. I worked as a general litigator some time ago, and was fortunate enough to have a Litigation Partner who took on many cases pro bono. He was a very special, kind man, not just in the profession to make money.I believe you seem to act under the same principles and don't use the free call to engage a client. So again, a huge thank you. I believe you have saved us a lot of time, costs and effort had we decided to fight, not to mention the risk of losing. Do you have a favorite charity to whom I could make a donation by way of thanking you for your time?
My name is Mr K****. I called this morning and a lady told me that a gentleman called Steve was going to call me back. He called me as promised and i am writing to thank you for the excellent advice, Steve advised me against appealing my case after he had heard everything. I find this to be incredibly honest, for once a lawyer has not tried to grab my money when he knew there was little chance to win. He called me using his phone and never tried to rush me along. All this for free? There are good, decent people left in this world, still! Thank you!
